TV Review: The Class Struggle at Superstore

The hit NBC show Superstore ran for six seasons before being cancelled after star America Ferrera departed. It won praise for showing problems faced by retail workers such as low wages, poor benefits, short staffing, racial and gender discrimination, automation, and the challenges of serving as essential workers during the pandemic. The show was also unusual in that it presented two major labor disputes—a strike and a union organizing campaign. Now that the show has concluded (its last episode ran March 25), I assess how it depicted this organizing.
